The Painted Petals stamp set in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalogue shows off the watercolour technique to perfection! No water and paint brushes here, just stamp the image and you’re a watercolour pro! Another perk of this set is that you stamp the images several times to make a really pretty bouquet. I choose […]

START THE WEEK WITH A COOL SKETCH AND COLOUR SCHEME
Happy Monday and let’s get this week rolling with this card! Pals Paper Arts has a great sketch this week and Create with Connie and Mary challenged us with three great colours(Rose Red, Soft Sky, Sahara Sand). I’m pretty proud of the fact that I could incorporate all 3 colours in this card. Sale-A-Oration is […]
AWESOME – YOU BRIGHTEN MY DAY
You Brighten My Day is such a cute stamp set from Stampin’ Up! It’s a limited edition though, when Sale-A-Bration is over on March 31st it goes away for ever! I was inspired by The Paper Players sketch this week and the saying on a card in the This Day Project Life card collection just […]

Inspiration came from the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge(Basic Black, Wild Wasabi, Sahara Sand) and I just Had to use this Moon Lake stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue! The images about nature are so […]
GATHER AROUND THE FAMILY TABLE

WHEN YOU NEED A QUICK NOTE
When you need a quick note to send, try making simple and pretty 4″ x 4″ note cards out of Whisper White card stock. I used several images from the Sale-A-Bration set, Nature’s Perfection and added the greeting from Simply Wonderful(another Sale-A-Bration set). Keeping these note cards simple and clean was the goal, so I […]
